Solve the equation for y: 2x+3y=−12

1 answer

To solve the equation for y, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.

2x + 3y = -12

To isolate y, we can start by subtracting 2x from both sides:

3y = -12 - 2x

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for y:

y = (-12 - 2x)/3

The equation for y is y = (-12 - 2x)/3.
